Team, we wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important — but we need your help.

You see, every month we set a goal of $100,000 raised from emails just like this one. Sometimes we meet that goal just in the knick of time, sometimes we clear it with days to spare. But this month, contributions are not coming in at the same rate we’ve been seeing so far this year and it’s got us worried.

These goals are real and not just some fundraising trick to get people to donate. We are operating at an all-time high — supporting veteran candidates for Senate in multiple swing states, holding Trump accountable for his growing list of misdeeds against our community, and fighting for the lives of veterans and military families everywhere.

If you can, and only if you can, will you chip in $3 today to help us close the gap on our mid-month fundraising goal? We need to raise about $12,500 if we want to catch up which means we need as many people reading this email to chip in whatever they can before midnight.

We know this is a challenging time for many people and their families, and the most important thing is that you take care of yourself and your loved ones so please only contribute if it makes financial sense.

As always, we appreciate you even opening this email and contributing today if you can. We have a lot of important work ahead of us and the only way we can do it all is if we do it together.
